Hog Cay, Ragged Islands, Bahamas

 We had gotten a little tired of the constant wind-driven motion of the boat up at Buena Vista Cay so we pulled anchor and had a lovely sail south back to Hog Cay.

A couple of the other boats in the anchorage had the same idea.  This one used diesel, we did not.


The 13 mile trek with just the jib took over 4 hours.  Very windy - 26 knots of wind at times but we were sailing very close to the wind.  Fun outing and over 18 miles across the ground.  (yellow line is our actual track as we tacked back and forth).


We did have time for a nice walk....beautiful seas but it shows how windy it still is!


 

We're all alone in Lobster Hole....30 boats over in the main anchorages though!

 

Back to the boat for a calmer night!
